as if…gotta be a scam…!!! why the hell sell $328,000 for $250 when they could use the same drop service themselves and walk away with over $160,000 or….as mentioned, move it themselves for 100%……sensationalism sounds more like. fools are buying these “accs” and getting nothing. nobody would pass up $328,000 !!!

For many people, it’s difficult to monetise the risk of website vulnerabilities and seeing the process laid out so clearly really brings the message home.

Regarding suggestions the resources you mentioned are amateurish, the real message here is that there are individuals out there with the audacity to offer services like these openly to the public domain. It shows how fraud itself has been commoditised to the extent that an entire sub-culture has emerged – rather publicly – with the intent of turning it into a service industry. That in itself is a fascinating observation.
